2026 BMW X1 Check Engine Light Codes
The most common check engine light codes for a 2026 BMW X1 encountered at Nalley BMW of Decatur include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim/system lean), and various oxygen sensor or evaporative emission (EVAP) codes.

Lean fuel codes can cause rough running, reduced fuel economy, and long-term engine wear—repairing the root cause saves on fuel and engine service over time. EVAP or fuel cap issues are typically inexpensive to fix when identified early. Our certified BMW technicians in Decatur use OEM parts and manufacturer-grade diagnostics to pinpoint the exact cause, often resolving issues faster than independent shops and at lower total cost due to fewer follow-up repairs.

If a battery or charging issue caused false codes, we offer professional battery testing and replacement with OEM batteries and proper disposal. We stand behind our work with dealership warranties, and any warranty-covered repairs must be completed at an authorized dealership to remain valid. To schedule service and review current offers, schedule service or see service specials. Service financing is available to help you address repairs today and pay over time.
